Thanks for your comment! The use of base-treated wood frames without a damp membrane is standard across all log cabins of this style throughout Europe, and we don’t encounter the issues you mention. That said, if you feel water is likely to pool around the base due to the location of your garden, adding a damp membrane could indeed be a consideration. We’ve sold thousands of log cabins and have never received feedback about floor bearers rotting or warping. The floor bearers are pressure-treated for durability and are securely screwed to every single floorboard floorboard, making warping very unlikely. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us.
my mum just paid 15 g for 2 of these, she could have done it herself, gutted for her. If she didnt do it behind my back i would have done🤦 Can i ask, do most of your clients insulate them or do you think iys not needed being 44mm thick. I was thinking of adding a wood stove for her but unsure weather to insulate first or not
@@aaquibislam1524 Building a garden shed can be quite a daunting task for those who have not done it before. Our garden sheds do come with fixings and assembly instructions to help you put it up. But, even with this, many customers often ask how long it will take them to assemble their shed. If you have not chosen to get someone to install the shed for you then, then the shed is designed so that you can install it yourself without prior knowledge. Don’t forget, this does not include the time that it takes to sort a base. Our sheds come with a floor (many competitor sheds don’t) but it still needs to sit on a firm and level base. But how long does it take to install the shed? This does depend on your experience and skill level, but as a guide (for someone who has not put a shed up before) you are looking at around 4 hours on average. 4×4 to 8×6 sheds - 2-3 hours 10×6 to 14×6 sheds - 3-4 hours 16×6 sheds and above - 4-5 hours

For a team of two people with limited to no experience, you can generally expect the cabin installation to take around 6-8 hours, so it's a good idea to allow for a full day. The time can also vary if there is a carry and depending on the distance between where the cabin is delivered and its final location. Some builds may extend into a second day, depending on individual DIY skills and overall capability. Any issues and our website has an installer directory of specialist cabin installers across the UK
Base-treated wood frame needs a damp membrane before untreated wood is installed. Wood will warp like crazy within 2 weeks leaving gaps.

If you want to use it for all year round use, then the answer is Yes, you should insulate the floor and roof, but not the walls on a 44mm.
How long is the assembly time? I'm thinking of getting the 12x8 Pent

can these be taken down?
Yes. But you may need to get new EPMD as that may have to be cut off
@@powersheds okay that's brilliant thanks!
A lovely cabin, both to build and look at, but the grammar of the instructions is AWFUL! 😢
@@JohnB-g8l Thanks for the message. We are sorry to hear that. If you could email the team any feedback it would be really appreciated and helpful 👍
